Chapter 155
The emperor moved his mouth, and finally waved his hand, "Father-in-law Gao, take these two people down and bandage them." Qinghe's behavior was wrong, and he went back to continue to think about it behind closed doors in the house, and he was not allowed to go out for half a year. The second girl of the Wu family is also, before she got married, she stayed in the house, don't come out and be embarrassed. ”
When General Wu heard the emperor's punishment, his face turned from red to black. "Weichen will go back and educate Wanqing well, and ask the emperor to calm his anger."
"Hmm." The emperor glanced at General Wu, and the matter was over, "It's going to be dark this day, why hasn't the boss come back yet?" ”
"The father is worry-free, the eldest brother has always been reliable, and he will definitely be able to find the fifth brother soon." Under the hints of the lady concubine, Prince An finally came out to speak. Of course, he didn't expect to get a response from his father.
"Well, your eldest brother is still reliable." Maybe he thought that he was about to lose his two children, so he improved his attitude towards Prince An, who had become very well-behaved.
And the emperor's change in attitude surprised everyone present, of course, the happiest of them was the lady concubine, who looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and affection.
But the emperor did not notice her gaze, but looked at the entrance of the forest farm, hoping to get an answer that would confirm his conjecture.
Finally, when it was dark, Prince Rui came back, and he also brought back the news of Lord Yu, and his face was heavy. "Father Qi, the son has already found the trace of the fifth brother, he...."
"How's he doing?" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and this matter was finally understood.
"Fifth brother, he was hit by several arrows for some reason, and then fell off the cliff." Rui Wang Ye was a little choked, "Fortunately, the fifth brother's guards desperately rescued him, so he was lucky to still have a breath, but he was covered in injuries, although the son had simply bandaged him when he found him, it was difficult to guarantee that he would survive." Lord Rui looked sad, it can be seen that Long Jingyi's situation is really not optimistic.
"And where is he now?" The emperor was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to be alive, "Why don't you send the imperial doctor to take a look at him?" ”
"The people who have just led him are coming up from the bottom of the cliff with him, and they think that they will be able to return to the camp in another hour." "The cliff on the west side of the forest farm looks dangerous when surrounded by smoke, but in fact, there is a fire under the cliff, and its water vapor covers the bottom of the cliff, creating a very dangerous appearance. If it weren't for this, Erchen really couldn't believe the fate of the fifth brother. Father, the fifth brother is really miserable, this is the arrow that Erchen pulled out from him, and there are several arrows on his body because they are too close to the heart, and the doctor brought by Erchen can't take them out, so they are still on his body. You must find out the real murderer and avenge the fifth brother. Lord Rui's eyes were a little moist, maybe it was due to his true feelings, he really wanted to find the murderer.
"Father-in-law Gao, bring the arrow." The emperor's gaze darkened, these were all expected by him. Since the third child dares to do such a thing, he will naturally find a good scapegoat for himself, and the boss can present the arrow, which means that the target of the third child is not him, the second child has already harmed him, and the fourth child is left.
The emperor's face was very gloomy, but it was really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. He carefully looked at this special arrow, the material was very special, and there were no obvious marks on it, obviously, it was an arrow shot by his own people. "The commander of the Praetorian Guard listened to the order, sealed the forest farm for me, and found the murderer out." The emperor threw the arrow on the ground. Xiao Su did this, why did the arrow that asked for the old five lives in the end be his own man?
The emperor wanted Long Jingyi's life, but he didn't want to use his own hands. He finally felt that as a Ming Jun, he should not have such an act as killing his son. He got up angrily, shook off the military officials and returned to his tent. The lady concubine wanted to serve with her, but was stopped by her father-in-law.
"Concubine Shuniang, the emperor has ordered, you don't have to wait tonight, you and Concubine Ning should rest early." After Gao Gonggong finished speaking, he also hurriedly chased after the emperor, Gao Gonggong is Long Jingyi's person, he has to serve the emperor well, see if he can help the prince with a few good words.
But the emperor still didn't give him a chance, and directly ordered him to stay outside the tent and not see anyone.
"Xiao Su, what the hell are you doing?!" The emperor was so angry that he smashed things directly, "I asked you to follow the third child, and make sure that he did something to the fifth child, instead of letting you order someone to shoot the fifth child!" "Although the result is to kill Long Jingyi, it is not his own order, and the emperor's heart is better.
Xiao Su pursed his lips, this emperor is really the most uncomfortable master he serves, "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, please punish the emperor." "The emperor clearly ordered the prince to die before, but now he has changed his words. Could it be that he killed his own son, so his conscience is uneasy?
However, the master has a thousand mistakes, and they are all the faults of being a slave. Xiao Su could only admit his mistake.
"....." Xiao Su didn't defend at all, and directly admitted his mistake, but made the emperor angry and had nowhere to go, "What's the matter with the guard who desperately saved the fifth child?" ”
After doing it for a long time, the emperor blamed himself for not being ruthless enough to not let the prince die thoroughly! "The guards beside the prince also jumped down after seeing the prince fall off the cliff." Speaking of the dark ten, Xiao Su still admires Long Jingyi's ability a little, and there are people who are willing to be born and die without hesitation, which shows that the prince must be a good master.
The emperor pinched his nose and sighed, "Since the sky does not stop him, I will leave him alive for the time being." ”
Xiao Su didn't answer, just waited quietly, waiting for the emperor's other orders.
"I have ordered the commander of the forbidden army to find out the source of the arrows," the emperor then instructed, "and you will think of a way to put this matter on the third child's sake." He originally wanted to do something to the third child, and he did so, and he was on his head, and I didn't wronged him. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Su couldn't stand the fact that the emperor always asked the dragon hermit to do such a thing, and he sincerely hoped that the next emperor could ascend the throne soon, otherwise if this continued, his loyalty to the royal family would be shaken.
Seeing that the emperor left angrily, Prince Ping hurried back to confirm the matter of the arrow with his subordinates.
"Didn't you report to this king that you just forced Lao Wu to jump off the cliff? How could he have been hit by an arrow? "Prince Ping was still thinking at the beginning, it was still good for the fifth child to fall off the cliff, either dead or disabled, no matter how he had nothing to do with the throne, and it had nothing to do with himself. Why are you still counting arrows in your body now, this is different from what I heard before.
"Yes, lord." The secret guard who went to snipe Long Jingyi reported, "There is still a group of people who want to kill the prince." The subordinates have always wanted to report to the prince, but they have never been able to find the opportunity. ”
